So tired!

This picture is one I took of Sadie, bringing Raynie across the dam at Quanah Parker Lake at the reserve last weekend. That's Nate coming up behind them, and Trish is way behind them. It was such a fun day. After we got across and started hiking, Nate took Raynie and carried her on his shoulders. Mason and Grace were way ahead of us, already.

Now, today was a big day for us. Our 'old' preacher and his wife were moving out of the parsonage, which is next door to us. We went over to help them, but they had packed most everything yesterday. I helped by mopping the floors and cleaning the glass stove top. After they left Don mowed the grass and I trimmed their trees and piled the branches all out in the alley. That was way more than I've done lately! Don mowed our grass, too. Plus he mowed down most of the iris beds, so it was way more than he usually does, too. I raked out all the junk from the iris cuttings and bagged it up and hauled it to the alley. So, our corner looks neat, but the two of us are worn out! We thank God that we're able to do this stuff!

Josh was an awesome preacher and we will so miss them, but I think they will love it where they are going. Josh's sermons will be on the Internet and we can keep in touch by face book, so I can survive. Plus, we have a new preacher coming next month, so we're excited to be getting new neighbors; we met them when they were here a few weeks ago, so we're looking forward to their arrival.
